I should have got one like that, but the adjustable top seemed like (and is) such a good idea.Reading the Signshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338983880105866139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432201290620111119.post-52426479324350105922009-03-31T12:30:00.000+00:002009-03-31T12:30:00.000+00:00Hi SignsI've used an old fashioned breakfast tray ...Hi Signs<BR/><BR/>I've used an old fashioned breakfast tray table for my laptop as long as I've had one.

So sorry about your cherry tree, Signs. I can relate to your problems with the laptop tray. We need to have carpets removed in bedrooms where wooden floors need to be sanded and varnished - an allergy and chemical exposure nightmare. Also need to get rid of molds. Yikes. One step at a time.willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553855597507261309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432201290620111119.post-11406545307377040612009-03-30T21:01:00.000+00:002009-03-30T21:01:00.000+00:00Would that do the trick, Kahless?

Let's hope that you are going into an episode of sleeping well and that it does indeed build up some 'interest in the bank'.<BR/><BR/>Commiserations about your laptop tray, especially as it was something that could potentially make a difference to your quality of life.<BR/><BR/>Only last night I was looking at a lamp in my living room thinking it looks so bland and boring, and how much I wanted one of those lamps that look like unruly metal flowers. Argos do some lamps in that style but I am certain that they will look cheap and nasty unlike the gorgeous (and expensive) ones I saw in John Lewis. Out of my price rang, so I'm sticking with bland. I have a couple of Ikea anglepoise lamps and they are pretty good. (You can order online from Ikea now, BTW.)Digitalessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03594604246460921921noreply@blogger.com
